Ben Smith

Ben has spent over seven years building cloud infrastructure and developer platforms, with a focus on AWS, Terraform, and GitOps-driven CI/CD. His work centers on the human side of infrastructure — designing systems and tooling that remove friction for engineering teams so they can ship with confidence. At Vibrant Planet, he builds the platforms that let the engineering team focus on the climate problem. Outside of work, Ben runs the Wildwood Trail near his home in Portland. Previously at Cloud Posse, Very Good Security, and AbleVets.
